The three suppliers chosen by the Hairy Bikers for their Go Local TV series have all seen a massive increase in demand following their appearance on the show last Friday.
The Hairy Bikers Go Local saw the much-loved duo matching up Michelin Star restaurants with suppliers in their local areas, with the boys attempting to impress Alex Nietosvuori and Ally Thompson of Hjem in Wall, Northumberland. After sampling courses from the holders of the county's first Michelin Star, the boys made a three-course meal for the couple at their base in Healey Hall with salmon caught in Berwick, a pork stew using kimchi from Wallsend and a dessert from a Morpeth-based chocolatier.
And all three businesses have seen a massive increase in demand since appearing on the show, with one of them "receiving orders from parts of the country they'd never have got to without the programme." The first supplier to appear was River Tweed Wild Salmon, the last remaining commercial netting station on the Tweed aiming to keep the history and heritage of a tradition that dates back more than a millennium.
